As this year’s training draws to a close, we would like to reflect briefly on this journey that began in July after much planning and rescheduling.

In the first module we laid the foundations by teaching our massage practitioners the basic techniques and process of a tantric massage: which types of touch are best, which to avoid and the order in which to proceed. In the next modules, the focus was on further improving the technique and optimising the process.

We built a lot on practical experience. The trainees had to massage each other and a total of 9 people completely during modules 2, 3 and 4, each in a 2-hour session; and 5 more people at home, between modules. In order for the masseurs to improve their skills, it is very important to know what each touch feels like, so that one’s own touches and grips when massaging can be better matched to one’s own sensations and feelings.

After each session, both the masseurs and the men who were massaged had to fill in questionnaires that gave us valuable feedback that the masseurs could use to grow in their practice, feel empowered and get into a good flow.

All these exercises gave the trainees the opportunity to improve not only in the massage itself, but also in communicating with clients about physical sensitivities, limitations, desires and the general possibilities of a tantric massage, so that a great and deep experience could unfold on all levels for all involved.

It is also important that you learn to take care of your own needs as a masseur: What are the best conditions for my practice? What are my own limits? What are my wishes? These are all good questions to ask yourself.

We feel that this first cycle of massage practitioner training has been very successful. We focused on providing a high quality training and are confident that we were able to provide the best experience possible. All participants of the training were very satisfied and definitely want to continue, so there are two more modules for them this year.

But we are also curious to hear feedback from our trainees to see what we can improve for next year’s training. We will therefore conduct some interviews with you in the next few weeks.

The dates for the 2022 training are already set and you can find them here, along with the button to book your place. You can also book individual modules if you missed a module of this year’s training.
